University of Arizona AWS Contract

The University of Arizona has a contract with Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides assurances regarding the security and privacy of customer information stored on AWS’s systems. The UA contract with AWS takes precedence if there is a conflict with the AWS posted terms or policies.
